Our strong bodied Midfielders:
Judd.......well no one can stop him and no one can beat him
Scotland..tough as nails, takes on allcomers and gets his hands free when tackled
Carrazzo..tough as nails. Matches strength with Geelong onballers
McLean...tough as nails. Matches strength with Geelong onballers
Murphy...strong body and knows how to handle the tough stuff. Also elusive.
Gibbs......despite his young age he is tough now and has a body which handles the tough stuff
Joseph...tough little fella who has done a great job on Ablett in the past
Houlihan....can drift up to link up like he did last week from HF. He has a very mature body and nowdays uses it effectively.
Kreuzer....huge misfielder who plays the RR role very well in the ruck
The there's the quick and elusive Midfielders:
Simpson
Betts
Maybe we will more than match them in the midfield which should relieve a lot of pressure on our backline.
If that is the case then maybe 2 talls at FB and CHB is the way we go, and the rest can support and help double team, but most importantaly run the ball out of defense (with Walker, Armfield, Russell and Lucas).
If we play as a team and support each other, win the ball, run run run and dispose effectively...and that happens when fast players present for the ball carrier, then why not a win?
Hawkins...Jamison
Pods......Walker
Mooney...White...but would prefer Waite on him...if Bower doesn't get up.
Kreuzer can ruck if Warnock has to follow Ottens in the last line of defense, or vice versa.
I don't want Ottens to kick easy goals from easy marks against much shorter opposition. It happens all the time.
We shouldn't win because we are young and still developing our skills and our strength, but I'm growing more confident by the minute.
Great post BB.
The only change is I would put Walker on Mooney and White on Pods. Mainly because Mooney will play further up the ground and hopefully Walker can run and create more attack from there.
A left field consideration may be to drop Warnock (although okay last week still along way off his best and needs time) and bring in Waite. Setanta would then play as the mobile second ruckman and Waite can go forward. It also gives us a lot of flexibility around the ground whilst improving our ground speed even more!
I really like that Idea. Ohailpin should have been moved into the ruck against Ess and then against Adel he was wasted. If it wasn't for his hard work off the ball he would get dropped. The only issue is Warncok. Does the club just want to get as many games as possible into him?
